Currently I am an undergraduate majoring in Chemical Engineering and I have two years remaining. So far I have done very well and plan on continuing to grad school after I graduate.
However, I have not been able to decide if I want to pursue a career in chemical engineering.
Is it possible to get a master's in mechanical or aerospace engineering with a bachelors in chemical?? If so, how long do you think it would take ??

You really need to talk to your professors about this. Getting any graduate degree can work against you in getting an entry level job in engineering. And then the job prospects for mechanical and aerospace engineers is not as good as for chemical engineers.
Did you know that many employers in non-engineering fields like to recruit chemical engineering majors just because of the rigor of their education? The pay may not be as great, but they really roll out the red carpet in other areas in order to get such well-qualified graduates.
Read the Occupational Outlook Handbook's page on engineers
http://www.bls.gov/oco/ocos027.htm
and do a lot more research on your own before spending a lot more money on a graduate degree that may not pay off in the way you'd want it to. Start going to job fairs now, talk to job recruiters, join the student chapter of the AIChE and attend meetings, etc.
